    What could be the problem?

    Hi Theresa, Yep, you called it. It looks like a classic case of too much, too fast & too soon. You're also not fueled enough for your workouts. I've felt this before when I do really strenuous workouts. I usually carry a banana or apple to pick me up mid-workout and keep myself hydrated...

    Do you become more confrontational when you get older?

    First off kudos to you for sticking up for yourself! That jerk deserved a good tongue-lashing. I probably would've said worse ;p I completely understand what you mean about having less tolerance for stupid people the older you get. I saw this t-shirt once that I wanted to get. It reads...

    one week hell !!!

    Thanks everyone! I'm psyched. Been doing about 90 mins a day so far and eating very very clean 4 more days to go. It's tough, but feels great! Going lower on low-ends, upping weights and double workouts are just what I need to get me out of my slump. I think I will keep at it for a month...

    one week hell !!!

    Hi, Thanks for the rotation. I know I've left it to the last minute. I didn't realise how much weight I'd put on after the holidays. I'm hosting an advertising special about education on TV in Hong Kong. I want to look professional and fit. My thighs are bulging in all of my pants and...

    Sweets

    Hi Mrs. Porter, A friend of mine introduced me to baby carrots and peanut butter. It's healthy and gives you the sweet boost you crave. Satisfying and tasty too. I like to throw a bunch of fruits together and make a fruit salad. Sometimes I add some low-fat yogurt, it's yummy. I like...

    Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type

    Hi, Yes, I just bought the book 'Cook Right For your Type'. It's the follow-up to "Eat Right For your Type". It has over 200 recipes based on my blood type that I can cook and make at home. Checking it out now. I agree that at first I thought this 'diet' sounded a bit fishy. But after...

    Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type

    Hi Cathe, Today, I met with a biochemist / sports therapist / nutritioninst / trainer. I felt like I'd been plateauing and wanted a professional to help me lose those last few inches of stubborn fat. What he told me completely contradicted everything I'd ever read or known about diet and...

    body fat question

    Hi again Cathe, Is it true that some people or body types are predisposed to a certain body fat percentage? I'm having a lot of trouble losing the last 2" of body fat to reach my ideal fitness goals of being nice and lean. Are the last few inches the hardest to lose like the last 5...

    soles of my feet hurt!

    Hi Cathe, I'm not sure if it's my feet or my shoes, but each time I do high impact moves like jumping jacks on the step, ski jumps or airborne jacks / jumps the soles and sides of my feet get very sore. Although I could continue physically, the pain makes it so that I have to stop and...

    More 90 min workouts

    Most of the workouts with the exception of Body Max (91mins) run at about 60-70 mins. Sometimes, due to a busy schedule, I double up on weekends by doing 1 hour cardio and 1 hour strength training. Sometimes 2 hours is a bit much, but 90 mins would be just right. Any plans to issue...

    A fan who's a guy

    Hi there Capcity24! Welcome to the wonderful world of Cathe workouts. I'm surprised to see there were no mentions (unless I missed them) of Imax 2 and Imax 3 - both killer workouts. I like interval training because the cardio section is shorter and a good start for a 2-left-footed newbie...

    Thigh flab

    Hi Cathe, I read somewhere that muscle grows at a faster rate than fat burns. Since I began my regular fitness regime (4-5 days per week) over a year ago, I have lost 2 inches on my chest / hips / thighs. I think I have been going through a plateau because since then I haven't lost any...

    To eat or not to eat before working out?

    Hi Heather, Not Cathe, but I'm also a morning exerciser. I've tried to workout out on an empty stomach before but that doesn't work for me. I usually get light-headed midway through the workout and eventually have to have a piece of wholegrain bread or banana half-way through to avoid...

    a year later and still not there yet

    Hi again everyone and thanks once again for all your valuable input. I'm really not a fan of protein shakes and protein bars. Have tried them but maybe it's the selection in Hong Kong, but the bars taste like cardboard and the shakes have this weird aftertaste which makes me want to...

    a year later and still not there yet

    Thank you all so much for your helpful advice. I agree that my system probably needs a jolt. Much as I hate to do it, tracking calories is probably my best bet at really controlling my food intake. I did it for a while, but thought it was a big pain since I wasn't able to accurately track...
